The Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens, the “Dutch DPA”) recently published materials regarding the COVID-19 crisis, including recommendations and FAQs for employers and recommendations for employees. In the materials, the Dutch DPA emphasizes that, while fighting the virus and saving lives is the top priority, privacy must not be overlooked and the crisis should not become a prelude to a “Big Brother” society.

For starters, employers cannot even ASK their employees about their
health, much less test them. Take it from there….
It’s not
surveillance, it’s medicine.

The biometrics industry has never been known to miss an opportunity to make a profit. Especially when it comes at the expense of everyone’s privacy.
Since the outbreak of COVID-19, facial recognition companies have been hard at work creating a new sales pitch that will allow them to maximize their profits.
Across the globe, facial recognition companies are hard at work trying to convince politicians, law enforcement and the public that thermal imaging cameras will help stop the spread of COVID-19.

In
this series, Privacy and Pandemics, the Future of Privacy Forum
explores the challenges posed by the COVID-19 crisis to existing
ethical, privacy, and data protection frameworks, and will seek to
provide information and guidance to companies and researchers
interested in responsible data sharing to support public health
response. Future posts will examine pandemic-tracking mobile apps,
regulatory guidance across the world, and more.

Making sense of AI, without AI.
Google
and the Oxford Internet Institute explain artificial intelligence
basics with the ‘A-Z of AI’
Artificial
intelligence (AI) is informing just about every facet of society,
from detecting
fraud
and
surveillance
to
helping
countries
battle the
current COVID-19 pandemic.
But AI is a thorny subject, fraught with complex terminology,
contradictory information, and general confusion about what it is at
its most fundamental level. This is why the Oxford Internet
Institute (OII), the social and computer science department of the
U.K.’s University of Oxford, has partnered with Google to launch
a
portal with a series of explainers outlining what AI actually is —
including the fundamentals, ethics, its impact on society, and how
it’s created.
At
launch, the “A-Z
of AI” covers
26 topics, including bias and how AI is used in climate science,
ethics, machine learning, human-in-the-loop, and Generative
adversarial networks (GANs).
Even the
government? AI must be a “thing.”
Artificial
Intelligence in Action
Federal
agencies are laying the groundwork now for how artificial

operations in not-so-distant future.

Facebook,
Google Could Lose Over $44 Billion in Ad Revenue in 2020 Because of
Coronavirus
Ad
spending is falling off a cliff amid the COVID-19 pandemic — and
Facebook and Google, the two heavyweights in digital advertising, are
expected to bear the brunt of the downturn in terms of sheer dollars
lost.
The
two internet giants together could see more than $44 billion in
worldwide ad revenue evaporate in 2020, Cowen & Co. analysts
estimate. That said, both
Google and Facebook will continue to be massively profitable even
with double-digit revenue drops.
